How Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City Wants to Get This Franchise Right

New DVD release, , , , ,
Before Resident Evil became a best-selling video game franchise, it was a passion project with a simple purpose: to scare the hell out of a generation of unsuspecting gamers. While 2002’s Resident Evil movie shared the 1996 game’s name, it emphasized sci-fi storytelling and action over scares. That movie—and the five sequels that followed—became box office hits, but ultimately divided video game fans who wondered if those movies really got the fabled franchise “right.” For Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City director Johannes Roberts, the chance to reboot this franchise is less about correcting past mistakes than making the most…

The Flash Finally Made the Right Decision with Caitlin and Frost

New DVD release, , , , ,
This The Flash article contains spoilers for Season 7, Episode 5, “Fear Me”. The Flash’s “Fear Me” is an entertaining enough Season 7 installment that gets to play with a long-standing genre trope, that of an outside entity – think demon, alien, magical dust, or, in this case, a metahuman known as Psych who’s able to project nightmare hallucinations onto others – who somehow allows us to explore the deepest fears of our favorite characters. (Plus, Cecile in The Thinker’s chair was pretty darn cool.) But it’s also an hour of The Flash that does something so necessary, that it…

Link Tank: The Best Sports Movies on Netflix Right Now

New DVD release, , ,
A great sports movie can be better than a great sports game. Check out the best sports movies Netflix has to offer right now. “Good sports movies are tough to make. The most successful have to transcend the drama and excitement inherent in sports themselves; why watch a movie about basketball when you could simply watch a great basketball game? But when done right, sports movies offer more depth than the average game, illuminating not just the sport depicted, but the deeper part of human nature that makes us love watching other people play games.” Read more at Thrillist.

Link Tank: Why You Should Watch Lockout on Netflix Right Now

New DVD release, , , ,
Lockout, starring Guy Pearce and Maggie Grace, is the best sci-fi prison break movie available on Netflix right now. “Prison break movies are a dime a dozen. Going back to The Great Escape, there seems to be no shortage of masterminded criminals who can muscle their way out of maximum security detention. Whether it’s Cool Hand Luke or even Chicken Run, it’s a tried and true genre.” Read more at Inverse. Few movies are worse than one that’s a disappointing adaptation of your favorite book. Check out the ten worst sinners in recent years. “Watching a film adaptation of your…

Clarice Episode 5 Review: Get Right with God

New DVD release, , ,
This Clarice review contains spoilers. Clarice Episode 5 Clarice, episode 5, “Get Right with God,” is the best episode of the season because the show gets right with The Silence of the Lambs. The series has been putting off most of the references, some by design, come contractually forced. Agent Clarice Starling (Rebecca Breeds) has done her level best to avoid talking about it, even in therapy. Though, to be fair, she avoids even the smallest of chatter there, and often appears to be communicating via a blinked Morse code. Starling has gone as far running rogue and publicly plug…

The WandaVision Theme Song is Stuck in Your Head Right Now

New DVD release, , ,
What’s a classic TV sitcom without a catchy theme song?  While Marvel’s first TV effort, WandaVision, is not a classic (yet) nor a sitcom, it does seek to lovingly recreate beloved TV legends like The Dick Van Dyke Show, Bewitched, The Brady Bunch, and more. And to that end, it’s brought in a pair of songwriting titans to pen some irrepressible jingles. Before breaking the pattern in the world-expanding fourth episode, WandaVision’s first three episodes were each accompanied by a new tune to play over the opening credits. Each of these theme songs closely mirror the style of that episode’s…

Christopher Nolan is Right About This Much in the WB and HBO Max Deal…

New DVD release, , ,
It appears as though there’s trouble in paradise. Could Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. be breaking up? The studio has been the filmmaker’s home since 2002’s Insomnia, and WB took a huge gamble on Nolan this past summer when it released Tenet in theaters during the COVID-19 pandemic. But all that was before WB, and perhaps more crucially WarnerMedia, opted to go in the opposite direction. It was before WB announced its entire 2021 film slate would premiere simultaneously on HBO Max and in theaters. As you’ve likely heard by now, the Tenet director and champion of all things theatrical…

Why Recasting Cortana Is the Right Choice for the Halo TV Series

New DVD release, , , ,
Jen Taylor will reprise her role as Cortana in the nine-episode Halo TV series being produced for Showtime, IGN reports. Natascha McElhone (Designated Survivor, Solaris) was originally signed on to play both Cortana and Dr. Catherine Halsey, her creator and template, but she’s no longer playing the famous Halo AI character due to scheduling conflicts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Fortunately, she’s still set to play Dr. Halsey, one of the franchise’s more controversial characters. While it’s unclear whether Taylor will play the role in-person or will bring a CGI version of Cortana to life through motion capture, the voice…

How White Noise Exposes the Empty Lies of the Alt-Right

New DVD release, , , ,
Rabbit holes have been on Daniel Lombroso’s mind during the last four years. Perhaps they’ve been there longer since his awareness of the alt-right predates his work on the new documentary White Noise. Yet ever since a fateful day in 2016, when he pointed a camera at a band of young white American men offering up their arms in a Nazi salute, he’s thoroughly explored one of the darkest rabbit holes in 21st century Western culture—and he’s shined a light on how so many got there, only to spread more hate out of it. A perfect example comes midway through…

Boy Meets World’s Slasher Episode Was Scarier Than it Had Any Right To Be

New DVD release, , , , ,
Blood-curdling screams. Taunting phone calls from a psycho killer. Creepy, ominous music with lyrics like “Here’s a knife. Here’s a gun. There’ll be fun for everyone. Death is on the menu tonight!” Elements of a forgotten ‘90s slasher classic? Nope. Just some highlights from the most memorable episode of ABC’s family sitcom Boy Meets World. With the launch of Disney+ and ample time to get nostalgic and revisit old movies and TV shows due to the pandemic, many older millennials are diving back into Boy Meets World, which ran for seven seasons from 1993 through 2000 as a staple of…

Last week, Disney+ launched its new series, The Right Stuff, based on the best-selling book and award-winning movie of the same name. The Right Stuff series dramatizes the experiences of the test pilots chosen to be the first Americans to go to space.

The documentary will air Friday, Nov.…

Link Tank: Why Save Yourselves Is an Alien Invasion Movie Done Right

New DVD release, , , ,
Save Yourselves is an alien science fiction movie based on a simple premise that turns out to be so much more. “Though it starts with a seemingly simple sci-fi premise, Save Yourselves is actually so much more. This is a film that’s funny and surprising but also smart, layered, and subtly thought-provoking. It doesn’t clobber you over the head with any single message; instead, you’re presented with many different viewpoints, any of which can be processed however you choose. The story is cute and clever but having something to think about afterward makes it even better.” Read more at Gizmodo.…

The Right Stuff Review (Spoiler-Free)

New DVD release, , ,
This The Right Stuff review contains no spoilers. It’s impossible to see The Right Stuff, Disney+’s new drama series about NASA’s Mercury 7 astronauts, and not think about the award-winning 1983 film of the same name, but those comparisons don’t do this streaming series version any favors. Where the film is widely and rightly lauded for its authentic and ultimately inspiring depiction of the real lives behind the men who pioneered the U.S. space program, the small-screen version of The Right Stuff never gets off the ground. On paper, I almost always enjoy an uplifting tale of humanity’s infinite possibility…

The Right Stuff: What To Expect From The Disney+ Adaptation

New DVD release, , , ,
Actors can feel the crushing gravity of expectations when playing real-life figures, even if they’re playing astronauts. For the cast and creatives behind The Right Stuff, shooting the TV adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s iconic novel about the Mercury 7 and birth of NASA took on added historical significance during the summer of 2019, with July 20th marking the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the moon. The series from National Geographic, which begins streaming on Disney+ on Oct. 9, shot at Universal Studios in Orlando, in close proximity to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. The day…
